Just some more photos from last Sunday's bake-a-thon that I likedand wanted to comment on.

The grated butter that looked like cheese. This reminds me of Roald Dahl's 'square sweets that look round' in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a great book, that coincidentally happens to centre around food.

I can't believe it's butter!

What the counter looked like at one point (tentatively titled 'Baking 'splosion'):

An example of that famous sifting technique:

Magnetic chocolate shavings!

Alisha starts her melting moments:

Grandma Gordon's ginger snaps prior to baking:

Dueling rasps - you can tell Meg is grating chocolate faster, as her hand is a blur! Clearly I'm worried about possible finger loss - I wouldn't make a very good chef, if the chefly ideal is to be able to pick up red-hot pans with your calloused, bare, thumb-stitched-back-on hands.

I took this photo because I liked the contrast of Flora's cold juice and Meg's hot tea - don't know if you can see the condensation and steam - but the reflections are pretty cool too.

About WeDine

It all started with friendly Friday potlucks as beleaguered design students in search of a home-cooked meal, and upon graduation evolved into Wednesday Dinners, a mid-week refuge from work. After a few months we realized we were improving and had begun to think of food in new ways. We wanted to document these successes (and sometimes, failures) – and thus was born WeDine.

Here's how it works: each Wednesday, we discuss our current cravings, take inventory of what's on hand, meet at a market to gather fresh ingredients which will complete our improvised menu, and finally head home to cook together.

(Oh, and by the way, we now document all our food loves and adventures here!)
